Thank you,

This, plus… the markups that were passed along to the consumers probably aren't going to get rolled back either.
Yay. Love this for us.
I love how Kavanaugh's dissent is literally "given how much crime he did, it's unreasonable to force him to remedy things now."

It's almost time for Ramadan, as Muslims tonight peered to the crescent moon to see if the month of Ramadan starts tonight or the day after. As with every year, I'm starting this thread so that people can ask questions, and learn about Ramadan from one person's perspective of it.
if you asked me to diagnose the western game industry's current problem it would start with "landlords have absorbed basically all disposable income"
Ok so today I think I should:
- pull up rugs & prep for donation
- dust
- clean up the porch
and maybe that can be enough for today unless I get more energy
This is terrifying. Like legit “oh fuck” terrifying.
I'm at that stage of packing/moving where I'm ~80% done but everything remaining has to stay accessible and is scattered all over the floor so it feels like I have not accomplished anything in months
Congrats Talp & fiancee! 💜💜
Excited to wade through the list of covered PCPs who are taking new patients only to call dozens in a row and be told they are not accepting new patients 🥰
Good thing our healthcare isn't free or else service would be terrible!
At least I'm paying $200/mo plus deductible for a good plan and still unable to get care 💫
Oh also they don't cover my prescription anymore ✨
Scheduled a visit with my PCP, 3 mo wait-- sucks but we'll deal l.
Had to cancel, puts me at the end of the list, another 3 mo but okay, I chose to cancel.
Appt next week-- get a call THEY are cancelling. Next appt is in 3 mo, doesn't matter that they were the ones who cancelled. 🫠
A reminder: this is an Irishman with valid papers speaking about how he's being held in US concentration camps. If you don't have to go to the US, do not go to the US. "GDC" is not "have to go". One denial at the border is going to mark you for life, and that's the best of the bad outcomes.
38 somehow feels tremendously older than 37
I've never clocked it before but I can immediately hear it in my head and will never unhear it. I am richer for this knowledge
I have to actively remind myself that the real reason I feel like I'm never getting anything done is the initial list of tasks is so fucking big
Best description, best show

Me, in a meeting [society is collapsing]: hey! how is everyone doing? let's do a quick check-in
